We thinking the Nissan black isn't that great then? Yeah if you could get the code that would be good, other option is going Honda nighthawk black with the blue flecks in it

I like BMW blacks. I had an E46 in sapphire black metallic that I liked when it was polished up, and I like their carbon black too. It's a really dark blue that looks black in most lights, but you can see the blue in the sun. And BMW rubinschwarz metallic has got red metallic in it giving a hint of red in the right light.

Totally undecided, opinions?

BMW rubinschwarz metallic


BMW Sapphire black metallic


Nighthawk black


BMW Carbon Black


He's quoted me £1500 with him getting the materials, but may come down if I help with the work

Don't get BMW black! Subaru black has a gold flake in it
which ggives a nice shine! But yeah go for a newer style black paint as paint technology has moved on and as peg says the Honda crystal black is sweet!

Crystal black is tasty mate seriously is the same blue and silver glitter as nhb but bigger flakes so a lot more sparkly. Also as Sam said paints have moved on a lot and are moving on quickly so better off getting the newest style of paint as its likely to be around longer if you ever need a touch up ;)
